Now that summer break is officially over and the kids are back to school, the struggle for what’s for dinner begins.

Imagine coming home after day’s labor to chock full of juicy meatballs, tender potatoes and carrots in a creamy, flavorful broth waiting to be enjoyed. And with hardly any effort! Just throw everything in the slow cooker and let it do the work. I used store-bought frozen meatballs to cut on prep time but I do have a great Italian meatball recipe if you prefer homemade.

Can this recipe be made in an Instapot instead? It looks good but would prefer the speed of the IP, if possible.
